As always Nellie I enjoy your thankful Thursday posts.I especially enjoyed reading about your grandmother, I had a very good relationship with my father's mother and spent many days on her farm.I think it is wonderful that you were able to lead her to the Lord.I think we here in the USA sometimes forget abut the sufferings of countries like Haiti. We truly are a blessed nation, thanks for reminding me.Enjoy your weekend.Sue

Hi Nellie! Its been so long since I have talked to you, I was thinking about you this morning:) I just thought I would drop by and check out your page. I am in grad school and am so busy that I don't have time to blog anymore but I am going to add you to my toolbar so I can keep visiting anyway:) Hope you are doing well, beautiful blog as always:)Cassidy

I am thankful for a friend like you! You sweet spirit, inspires me. I appreciate the time you take to remind us to be thankful.

Some things I am thankful for:-get well soon cards from first graders-laughter of children-being able to rest yesterday and fight the virus-teaching UNO to at 63 year :)- wonderful host family- being right where God wants me to be right now :)

The LORD Blesses no matter what!#1. It shows just how fast time does pass! I can't believe dad's been with the LORD for 20 years now and mom, 9 years! What joy it's going to be to see them again!#2. We didn't get to see our relatives that much when we were growing up. They lived so far away, that we couldn't see them until the summer; and then only for a couple of days due to so many to see and so few days to see them all.#3. Hopefully next year you will become a gramma!#4. Answers to prayers are so thankful! I praise the LORD my back and hip are back to "normal." I can sleep on my back again. It's tough when you can't sleep on your back nor either side!#5. When I look back on my life, I am so thankful for the blessings I have had. I thought no differently living in trailors, though the kids who never did called me trailor trash! Dad and mom provided and the LORD blessed us all to eventually own a home!#6. I am thankful for all of the fresh seafoodthe LORD supplied through dad's skin diving to provide his family and others the food we needed.#7. I'm so prayerful for those who have no bed to lay their head, insects that bite throughout the night, the heat and the cold of the weather. It humbles me in guilt that I have so much and they have nothing, but then the Holy Spirit tells me the LORD provides for His own and that we are to help and share with those less fortunate. I'm so thankful I can s do that through our church's services.#8. It's not until I hurt really bad that I realize how truly fragile mankind really is. I think that lesson just finished being learned again. When the doctor put me on the electric stimulator to relax my back muscles, he kept asking if I was "feeling" it yet and later replied, "I've not seen anyone before with your high tolerance for pain!" I guess that's why my leg muscle was so contracted that it was like a rock! What a relief to my muscles when the treatment was over.#9. Prayers are being lifted.#10. I'm thankful for the surprises Alice brings over to me. She had a big plate of spaghetti, brocoli, and bread. She had made a big dinner for Boddy. He came home from his operation today from having his metal ankle replaced with a cadaver ankle bone. There was also some more shrapnel removed.#11. I have a bad habit of getting "quick" foods from these stores due to not cooking just for myself. Too much of it winds up getting thrown out because of going bad or getting freezer burnt.#12. After visiting Israel in 1998, I couldn't believe how so many people outside of Jerusalem just dump their garbage out the back door down the hillsides! I praise GOD for the men who collect ours. I pray they are paid well for their hard labor.Love to you all this week,Susan

What a great story of your grandmother! Love all the different types of earrings she wore! And how wonderful you were able to lead her to the Lord! Just knowing you'll be able to see her again is such a wonderful promise we cling to. I had a wonderful grandmother also, but unfortunately she only spoke a little of English, my dad and his family came to America when my dad was 16. And even though his whole family learned English and my grandfather refused to let them speak German in the house, when they were older, they naturally reverted back to their native language. I understood a little of what she would say to me. And she always had Hershey's mutli-pack candy ready for us when we would come for a visit. And she loved to just sit with me on their porch swing and hold my hand and hum little tunes to me. Very sweet.

I love Carrabbas also! AND we have 2 gift cards waiting for us to find time to use! Need to go soon.

I left you a comment on my blog regarding the pizza dough and wanted you to know that you don't have to make it from scratch. You can purchase pizza dough in supermarkets now or even go to your favorite pizza shop and purchase a loaf uncooked from them. I do that all the time when I don't have too much time.

How precious that you had a Grandma that spoiled you! And that she had a precious namesake! What a reunion awaits us all in Heaven!I am thankful for GOD's blessing on my family.I just learned (an hour ago) that Katie is having another little boy! The three Bell Brothers! Wondering which side of the family this one will take after! LOLBlessings to you and yours~ ((HUGS))
